Here's your statement:
"Then how did Paul claim authority over the various churches he wrote to...not the least of which was the Corinthian church?"
Back it up and stop obfusgating.
"Then how did Paul claim authority over the various churches he wrote to...not the least of which was the Corinthian church?"
Paul specificly says Christ is the head of the Church. Nevertheless, Paul's claim to authority is not restricted to any particular congregation, or do you dispute that? I gave the verse 1 Corinthians 5:3-5 to back it up.
If you want to be a heretic, that's your business, but asking for an answer that was already given is just childish.
